This game marks the conclusion of Golden State’s two-game road trip, with tipoff scheduled for 4:30 p.m. PT.
After a narrow 113-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, the Warriors are aiming to bounce back in Memphis. Green logged significant minutes in the last game, contributing 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and two blocks across 32 minutes while shooting 5-for-11 from the field.

His presence remains vital for Golden State as the team maintains a record just above .500 and pushes for stronger playoff positioning in the competitive Western Conference.
Meanwhile, guard De’Anthony Melton has been ruled out for Wednesday with a left knee injury he is managing. Melton led all scorers in Tuesday’s loss with a season-high 28 points, adding four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 28 minutes of play.
